I very often only eat half a tray of chicken/prawn curry and half a tray of the rice then maybe in a bit I want to eat a bit more.

Based on this would you count carbs/inject for just half the tray?
Also would you split the injection and inject half on starting to eat then the rest later?
 
Seems like a good idea, obviously the details could be refined the more you do it.........but your thinking along the right lines.........🙂
 
Thank you novorapidboi26 🙂

I'm not having one tonight though lol :D

PS it's been ordered and on it's way 🙂
 
On a pump you can "duel wave". On my medtronic all you would do is set the insulin % & the time delay depending on what you eat. A good feature which i use a lot. Enjoy your curry 🙂

When I used to be on MDI I used to split my injection because of the high carb and fat content, so if you are going to do 2 instalments on your Indian....I would split twice but that would mean 4 injections! .....should work though 🙂
